Melissa Hronkin will demonstrate how she strengthens her community by hosting artist markets, educational forums, and festivals in a historical church that she and her husband own. This venue serves as an artist studio, winery, and community gathering space for sharing creativity. Learn how their beekeeping hobby and integration of art, science, and history all came together in this unique labor of love.

Frank Juarez will discuss the benefits of infusing art, education, and business in the classroom and beyond. He will share ways to address visual and textual literacy through the 365 Artists 365 Days project as well as highlight the importance of tapping into the local and regional art community based on his experience with the Midwest Artist Studios program.

Karen Nobel will share how the Kids Need More Art studio began as an idea to lease her art classroom during the summer months to run an art camp to offer students in the community an accessible, affordable opportunity for creative summer enrichment. Now eight years later, Kids Need More Art has grown to operate its popular Summer Art Series across four locations in South Florida, while continuing to provide year-round art programming in its main location.
